Ok, I'm looking for this story, and I'm pretty sure it was posted on TFF already, but for the life of me I can't find it.
It's a modern telling of The Legend of Zelda. Major features include giant spider super weapon of doom + 2 other, air and sea, super weapons, an epic motorcycle escape scene, 3 kingdoms, and last I read it had Link infiltrating the enemy's kingdom dressed as an elite unit of that kingdom's army, including the green hat.
Also, Epona was a motorcycle >>
Please somebody tell me they remember what it was called...I looked through the other game recommendation thread, and couldn't find it.
Ok, I'm gonna tell more about it, since fuck I remember everything but the damn author and the title and where I saw it.
Zelda's the princess of one of the 3 kingdom. Link gets assigned to her, and he's all like, "...", and she's all like, "*Huff!*", and he's all like, "...".
One of the other kingdom, I want to say Valentines, because it reminded me of Odin Sphere the last time I read it, was doing some secret research in very portable ultra efficient and powerful energy cores, 3 in fact. I remember this because there was a chapter where Zelda and her intelligence officer were puzzling over something like radar block-out at about the time of the successful activation of the 3 cores.
Anyways, some time later, Valentines launched a surprise invasion of Hyrule (Zelda's kingdom, because damn it it's Hyrule.), knocking out the central command station and successfully punching through to the capital city (which was situated perilous close to the border). Link took Zelda, used a bitching retractable gun/blade, and got on Epona, the aforementioned motorcycle, cueing the epic escape sequence in which Link dodged soldiers, at one point running up the side of a fallen tree trunk, losing and dodging an attack helicopter firing both missiles and rockets (or however it was differentiated.)
At the end, Link got on the highway, only to be attacked by Valentines' elite gun/blade wielding motorcycle riding green hat wearing spec-ops, and using no hands guided riding from Epona (the cheating bastard), two handed the spec-ops (the poor bastards) into the ground.
Which, of course, didn't end the chapter, since then a fucking GIGANTIC Spider Walker codenamed "Jormungand" (or something, maybe it was codenamed something else, but one of the 3 was Jormungand. The other was Quetzalcoatl and...I forget the last. Whatever.), which proceeded to rape the ever living shit out of the highway, firing indiscriminate blasts everywhere, and then somehow Link and Zelda escaped.
To Gannondorf's kingdom. Or rather, he's a general? Whatever, it's Gannondorf's kingdom, apparently the 3 kingdoms lived in a tripod of power, wherein Valentine, Hyrule, and Gerudo kept each other in check and in peace by a threat of 2v1 ganking if one side decides to get greedy. Which, Valentines bypassed with the 3 OMG WTF Super Weapon of doom, steamrolling right through Hyrule.
Blah blah blah, they get picked up, Link gets sent on infiltration mission, end, and I CAN'T FIND THE DAMN STORY EGFIOEHFEOIH
...I swear, it's like whoever recommended went back and changed their post, just to mess with me.
(I even looked through all the 30k+ stories on FF.net featuring Link as the character and having a rating of K/M. And that was a fucking nightmare ;_; )
So, help. I've pretty much retold the entire plot of the story, so....
(Edit: I fucking love you Jierdan. You win, you just win. Name something fanfic related, and I'll do it to the best of my ability. Cause damn, I can't believe I forgot it was Exoria ;_; )
